I have great sympathy for your situation. Even though I've been lucky - since I was hospitalized 16 months ago - and not had an episode since, I get scared every time I feel the slightest discomfort in my belly. The thing I find so frustrating is that I have gotten such a wide variety of advice: eat more fiber; avoid greens and fiber; eat 6 small meals a day. Then, I've have 2 doctors tell me that what I eat, or don't eat, if I'm going to have an obstruction, I'm going to have one - it's just bad luck. I hope you will find what works for you!

I have also gotten conflicting advice.. which is so frustrating. I try to watch everything I eat, but it is exhausting...Like you, I panic every time I don't feel great. But, sharing our stories is a good way for me to know that I am not alone.
